Every child needs a different path to becoming a confident reader. I start by identifying exactly where the gaps are and what your child already does well. From there, I create a personalized plan using Orton-Gillingham and other research-based strategies to target the skills they need most.
Just as important, I build confidence along the way. When children experience success, they become more willing to try, persist when something is difficult, and believe that they can learn.

I am currently teaching in Seattle, but my teaching background spans the globe. In March 2025, I had the privilege of speaking at SENIA Cambodia 2025, where I discussed creating inclusive classrooms through small group instruction. If you're interested, I offer virtual and in-person reading workshops and presentations for teachers, parents and students worldwide. Join me to explore effective teaching methods, develop curricula, and inspire students to lead engaged and literate lives. These workshops focus on essential strategies for supporting struggling readers. Get in touch today to book a session or schedule a speaking engagement!
